We had to recreate the accounts in the child domain only. The Exchange
server is not in the child domain, but a different domain and sees the AD
without any problems. We were able to get all of the accounts in the child
domain reconnected to the mailboxes of the Exchange in the top level domain,
but just had a problem with ESM hanging when we reconnected them. After we
end task to lose out ESM and go back in, it's fine.
